STANFORD, Calif.- Stanford (15-6, 5-4 Pac-12) opens the second half of conference play on Thursday night against Arizona State (7-14, 3-6 Pac-12). It's the only meeting of the year between the programs, as Stanford does not play the Arizona schools on the road.

Aiming to snap a three-game losing skid, the Cardinal stands two games back of first place in the Pac-12.

Stanford closes out its homestand on Saturday at 12 p.m., hosting Arizona. The Cardinal is back on the road next week, traveling to SoCal for matchups against UCLA and USC.

The Cardinal Channel's Matt Morrison recently caught up with head coach Johnny Dawkins for a preview of Stanford's upcoming games while looking back at last week.
